    Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten

    I am unwritten,
    Can't read my mind
    I'm undefined
    I'm just beginning
    The pen's in my hand
    Ending unplanned

    Staring at the blank page before you
    Open up the dirty window
    Let the sun illuminate the words
    That you could not find
    Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it
    Release your inhibitions

    Feel the rain on your skin
    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    Drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins
    The rest is still unwritten, yeah

    Oh, oh

    I break tradition
    Sometimes my tries
    Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
    We've been conditioned
    To not make mistakes
    But I can't live that way oh, oh

    Staring at the blank page before you
    Open up the dirty window
    Let the sun illuminate the words
    That you could not find
    Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it
    Release your inhibitions

    Feel the rain on your skin
    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins
    the rest still unwritten

    The Mercy Seat - Nick Cave

    ...and in a way I'm yearning to be done, with all this measuring of truth, an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth...

    I guess when you're ready to face the truth no matter what the consequences...

    I'm Free by The Who

    I'm free, I'm free

    and freedom tastes of reality

    I'm free, I'm free

    and I'm waiting for you to follow me

    I told you what it takes to reach the highest high,

    You'd laugh and say nothing's that simple

    But you'd been told many times before, the messiah's pointed to the door

    No one had the guts to leave the temple

    Okay I know I promised to stay off of this board for a while...but I could not resist this one.

    The Talking Heads....Once In A Lifetime

    And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
    And you may find yourself in another part of the world
    And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
    And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
    Wife
    And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

    Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
    Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
    Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

    And you may ask yourself
    How do I work this?
    And you may ask yourself
    Where is that large automobile?
    And you may tell yourself
    This is not my beautiful house!
    And you may tell yourself
    This is not my beautiful wife!

    Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
    Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
    Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

    Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
    Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
    Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

    Water dissolving...and water removing
    There is water at the bottom of the ocean
    Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
    Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

    Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
    Into the blue again/in the silent water
    Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

    Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
    Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
    Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

    And you may ask yourself
    What is that beautiful house?
    And you may ask yourself
    Where does that highway go?
    And you may ask yourself
    Am I right? ...am I wrong?
    And you may tell yourself
    My god!...what have I done?

    Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
    Into the blue again/in the silent water
    Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

    Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
    Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
    Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

    Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
    Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
    Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

    John Lennon - God

    God is a concept,
    By which we can measure,
    Our pain,
    I'll say it again,
    God is a concept,
    By which we can measure,
    Our pain,
    I don't believe in magic,
    I don't believe in I-ching,
    I don't believe in bible,
    I don't believe in tarot,
    I don't believe in Hitler,
    I don't believe in Jesus,
    I don't believe in Kennedy,
    I don't believe in Buddha,
    I don't believe in mantra,
    I don't believe in Gita,
    I don't believe in yoga,
    I don't believe in kings,
    I don't believe in Elvis,
    I don't believe in Zimmerman,
    I don't believe in Beatles Watchtower,
    I just believe in me,
    And that's reality.
    The dream is over,
    What can I say?
    The dream is over,
    Yesterday,
    I was dreamweaver,
    But now I'm reborn,
    I was the walrus,
    But now I'm John,
    And so dear friends,
    You just have to carry on,
    The dream is over.
